Reviews
  • Review by Faren Miller (1982) in Locus, #259 August 1982
  • Review by Tom Easton (1983) in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, June 1983
gollark: On my desktop anyway, not the laptop.
gollark: Windows would use >30GB, has ads everywhere, would likely take longer to boot, does not as far as I know do good full disk encryption, generally tends to run slowly and randomly use excessive resources for no reason, and I would *need to pay for it*.
gollark: My Arch install fits in 20GB or so, and I could cut it further if I actually cared, has no ads, boots in 25 seconds off my SSD to a usable desktop including time to enter my encryption key and password, and runs blazing fast.
gollark: e. g. stupid preinstalled bloatware.
gollark: There can be issues other than hardware and drivers.
